Hi all,
I ran into a really strange case, running VB 6.1, on Win10.
While connecting to first wifi network - i'm able to access the Linux vm running locally.
While switching to second wifi network - i cannot nor ping to vm machine.
VM can ping Win hostnly interface on both cases.

Adapter type used is: intl PRO/1000 MT Desktop.

did someone ran unto this issue or might have an idea how to troubleshoot it?
Thasnk,
Shlomi

We'll need to see the VM's setup, and some data from the working and failing network arrangements.

Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager. Zip the VM's .vbox file (not the .vbox-prev file), and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab. (Configure your host OS to show all extensions if the folder that opens does not show a .vbox file.)

In the host OS, run these commands in the Command Prompt, and post the output:
cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\Virtualbox"
vboxmanage list hostonlyifs


On both Wi-Fi netowrks, please run this command in the Command Prompt, and post the output. Please label which is which:
ipconfig /all

Do the following twice, once for each Wi-Fi network:
Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS. Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip it, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

In the VM run this in the terminal and post the output, once for each Wi-Fi network:
ip address or ifconfig
